The place was nicely appointed and restaurant was pleasant. Savoury and very very good breakfasts with very good-portions and fresh fruit, for example, the stuff where all in all helpful. The hotel was in the heart of Edinburgh. Plus, I was not too far away from an official residence.
That lift was missing.

My stay was perfectly pleasant here. Every detail of this nicely appointed property was nice. The staff were hospitable and very attentive, as I could only expect. I loved the savoury and great breakfast served with local ingredients. The location was perfect and handy, near the Carlton Hill park, and my bed was very clean.
